> How is the S40 OS?
Bookmark topic
Sorry for the sudden influx of questions but i was wondering how does this OS fare against A200 of SE. I was looking to get a i450 but its unavailable leaving 5610 as another choice. How is its interface? Is it good looking and easy to use?

It's very good looking, and very easy to use.
With Nokia's theme creator too on your PC, you can make themes just like you can for SE A200 etc.
I think actually some of them you can even customise the menu icons. My old 6280 had a jungle theme that changed things like the contacts to an animated elephant etc, all very cool.

I think you should avoid s40 and get s60. I have used my friends 5610, and i did not like it. Its just my personal opinion, and, if comparing s40 and A2, i think A2 wins.

Better invest with S60. S40 has far more limitation than even A100 (limited .jar size, no multitasking, slow Java3D performance) even the latest S40 retains all the weakpoints of it's predecessor only incorporating the eye candy animated UI which doesn't look as good as A200's.

What both the previous posters have forgotten is it all depends on what youre going to use the phone for. If you dont need it for the features that S60 offers then S40 is fine

I have a S40 and S60 phone(s)
both are totally different which I like about them both,
the S40 phone is a nice bit of kit easy to use and has some intresting features.
you should try before you decide

I think s60 is easier to use! s40's file manager is one of the weakest, there are several other things that put me off of s40. Maybe cuz m used to s60 from yrs?
But anyways, considering Qvga's current phone(w950i, which is a symbian,and uses its powers), i think he would want another symbian(if he's the one going to use it).

Hmm... The 5610 seems like its got almost the exact same specs as the C702. So if A2 is preferred over S40, perhaps the C702 might be a better option? I don't know but it may be cheaper too?

QVGA what other options do you have? What's your budget? Id realy suggest waiting for the 5320XM S60 Smartphone, or if you can get a 5700XM its still a great Music Smartphone, has FP1 AND the 369mhz CPU, or look at the 6110-Navigator as well as the 6120c, ALL those should be very affordable, and all run S60 FP1.
